I see that you are feeding Butters very well to make him less aggressive. Look at that cute bulging belly!

Wow! The description on the link says Auriglobus Modestus needs 1 snail per day! I only feed my F8s 1 pond snail each every week. I guess different puffers have different teeth growth rates? Do you recommend I feed my F8s more snails?

I heard about teeth trimming for puffers but I don't know how it is done. Do you take the puffer out of the tank? It must be very stressful to the puffer.

Thats it that is the neon I ALMOST got...wow that would have been interesting to see how long my angelfish who have lasted. Hey I love Kopix just as much as Butters!How can you say I should get rid of this beauty?

Thank you I feed Butters twice a day. He eats snails,bloodworms,plankton,and krill. He is a fat little booger isn't he?

"Get rid of", can also mean find another tank for either fish. If you love them both, you will do this, for the sake of the angel's fins. Your puffer should be happy in a 10g for life.

Well I was planning to move Butters into a 6 but it does not have a place to put the filter.....poop. I have to wait for the stupid 60 to open up to put the angelfish in there. I can't now because of the oscars....
